Released in December of 1998, this game was the Game Boy Color re-release of the hit original. It featured colorized graphics, a new Camera Shop supporting the Game Boy Printer, and a brand new full-color dungeon (which would work only on the Game Boy Color).

"The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX" follows the storyline of the original, but adds fun elements to attract veterans of the old black and white game.
